I have a Yahoo search bar next to the Url location bar. I would like to get rid of it. How?
When I downloaded Firefox 4 this morning, I ended up with a Yahoo option for search on the tool bar next to the URL location space. I don't want the Yahoo search option and can't figure out how to get rid of it. I have read all the suggestions without help. I am running Windows 7.
Reply: Cor-el > Excellent!! Thank You. In Tools, Add Ons, Extensions there was a Default Tab enntry which was the culprit. Am running W7 so the XP Tools, Options, Advanced , Use Hardware acceleration when available, wasn't of much help here, however I did fix a problem on another computer running XP with that same fix. Thank You very much! HD

My home page is just www.google.com with a search box and a picture of some planets as a background from my computer. While I was dragging the restored down browser window, I slipped with my mouse and now I have a light gray two inch bar across the top of my background picture. It's below the; Search-Images-YouTube-News-Gmail-More icons. When I right click on it and select inspect Element (Q) it says div#gbx1.gbqfh in three different colors. I would like to get rid of it, but I don't know if it's a google or Mozilla issue. I know google has been changing things so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a coincidence.
Is there any text in that gray bar?
I see some buttons on it, do they have a tooltip?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If you used Boot Camp to install Windows you may use Boot Camp to remove it and return your drive to as it was.

You need to log in to Adobe.com & download the app from the desktop icon.
You can follow Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps . One Creative cloud allows you to actibvate twice.

On the older versions of FF, I could always get the history of my tab by clicking the vertical arrow that was on the left side next to the navigation arrows. I really miss the feature, and now everything takes more time since I have to go back, go back, and go back instead of scroll down to see the particular url in the tab I want to return to.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
- Susan+1, exact same problem. Oddly enough was working yesterday, also on Yosemite then today I get the same message. If I ignore it my game launches but then I can't connect to any of my friends as I get the "failed after 10 retries" message. Specifically L4D for me.
Frustrating as duck. -
After switching to Firefox 4 update- Yahoo US has been showing up and blocking my links thru bookmarks to my favorites and/or common sites, such as hotmail, the weathernetwork, pogo, spintop etc. It takes you to a yahoo search. Or can't find the site. It blocks my everyday sites and I have to reenter and figure out another way to get there.
I figured it out! Click on the Orange 'Firefox' tab on the upper left hand side of the Firefox browser, Choose 'Options', then deselect 'Yahoo! toolbar'.
-
I absolutely hate that on top of the page it always appears Yahoo in between Bookmarks and Tools. I will stop using Firefox if this persists. Please let me know how to solve this problem. Many Thanks
Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -
When I got my iMac a few days ago it started instantly by showing the tool bar at the bottom and was ready to use. Somehow I have activated the monster known as keychain and my life has changed. How can I get this thing back into the bottle?
TheEntireSky, that is actually a different problem, specifically related to Safari.
Safari stores passwords for each site, unless you tell it not to. Some websites will place a cookie on your system that enables them to log in automatically. These are two separate functions. Each one can be removed or disabled separately.
I suggest you post a new question describing what you want to do. -
Can somebody help me figure out how to import my home videos from a DVD into imovie?
That means 'reverse engineering them'!
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7. -
The download starts with Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe, but I always have trouble with "setup" programs that appear to be manageable size (this one estimates 45 minutes to download), but once run, starts a ten-hour download.
This should be easily available information on the website... what is the total download size if the current Firefox installation package?That's the size of Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe, which I started to download but figured there had to be more.
So, you're saying that once that downloads and you run it, there's nothing else to get online? I could run Firefox Setup 6.0.2.exe successfully while not connected to the Internet? -

Getting icon on the top bar next to the time and date
When I sync my external Hard-drive an icon used to appear (time machine icon maybe?) on the top bar next to the airport, sound, date, time... and now its gone. How do I get that icon to reappear there? The icon would allow me to enter the time-machine.
Time Machine System Prefs->check the "Show Time Machine status in menu bar."
Note that most of Apple's status menu items are enabled this way. -
How to remove bar, eg "Most Visited," etc just below URL location bar?
Just below the URL location bar is a line of stuff I don't want. It contains Most Visited, Getting Started, Latest Headlines, Apple, .Mac, Yahoo!, News, Apple, Welcome to Firefox.
I want to reclaim this space and add it to the window, not keep a fat header up there.Many Thanks to you TonyE !!!

I have a yahoo search bar which was installed during a download and installation of SIW.exe a system information application from http://gtopala.com/. It was the freeware version which is add based software. However I didn't expect that the search function would be such a nusance and interfere with Firefox's functions.
The search bar is acting like a App tab that I can't move or get rid of. Ther is no option to unpin the object when I right click on the bar or to change it in any way using the 'group your tab' function to the right of the tab tool bar.Reply: Cor-el > Excellent!! Thank You. In Tools, Add Ons, Extensions there was a Default Tab enntry which was the culprit. Am running W7 so the XP Tools, Options, Advanced , Use Hardware acceleration when available, wasn't of much help here, however I did fix a problem on another computer running XP with that same fix.
